Was a little disappointed to find we were not in the main hotel but in a smaller building next to it which was quite tired and dated. The first thing we noticed was the filthy stained valances around the bottom of the twin beds. The sheets and towels however looked fresh and clean. The room was well laid out with... More

This hotel is very close to the station so great if want to stay overnight and catch train the next day as you can check into Malaysian airlines at the station and then catch the train without your luggage! The hotel is a bit grubby but room OK, we booked superior room. The area has many Indian shops and restaurants... More

I had already heard about Hotel Sentral from a friend of mine who gave positive reviews. We had booked 3 rooms for our stay of 4 nights in KL. We arrived at 2 a.m. and there was no rush at the reception, so we were guided to our rooms promptly. The rooms are pretty small and dated, but given that... More

My family stayed at Hotel Sentral for three nights in December 2011.We were very hesitant to stay here and only chose this hotel because the only travel agency giving us rooms at First World hotel in Genting ( which we wanted) was D.Pauls but the catch was that the hotel in KL they were giving was Sentral. Now the Hotel... More

The staff at the KL Sentral was as friendly as the cab operator, and feel the choice to stay at the KL Sentral as opposed to the higher end properties across the square was the right decision, since we were just over nighting. The room was adequate, clean, and safe. The complementary breakfast was diverse and delightful and the morning... More

We've not even slept in this hotel, using it as just a basecamp on our way to Australia during 9 hours connection in KL. Anyway, it's near the railway station, so you get get there and away in the best possible way and timing. Friendly reception, rooms are equipped with tea and cofee maker and stuff, everything is clean, AC... More

We spent only one night in this hotel, however we found it convenient and comfortable. Close location to monorail and KL Sentral station was the main factor that we chose it. Room is basic may need some refreshment, but clean and comfy. Breakfast OK, although there's a lots of places around to get something to eat if you fancy a... More

I selected this hotel because of its location due to nearby bus stops and famous KL sentral LRT/monorail etc. station junction, which is most convenient way of transportation in KL. Hotel itself is at a congested downtown area location with a small super-market and road side restaurants nearby. You have to be careful at late night because you feel like... More

IF you are looking for a no frills kinda hotel, this is a neat place and also on a budget. The hotel is clean and rooms are medium sized and not cramped. Staff is friendly. Its walking distance away from the malls and shopping centres. The only down side is the approach road to the hotel was bad as there... More
